Note

For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for complex flavor.

If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with a pie shield or strips of aluminum foil.

Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in a 350ðF oven for 10-15 minutes.
